Don't blame checkinstall.. It just traps output of 'make install'. So it's as good as mak install for a particular package goes.. And if you are compiling, where is automation left? Checkinstall hasn't has failed on me for more than 30 packages.. Postgres etc.. builds nicely.. Wish it could generate dependencies by running ldd on binaries automatically....:-) Shridhar _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
